DR. MERCHANT URGES KENTUCKY NEGROES TO GET TOGETHER Rev. Broaddus, League President, Says He Is For Race First (By John H. Frank, Jr.) The Citizens' League of Kentucky met at the West Chestnut St. Baptist church, on the eve of July 2, to hear the report of Dr. W. T. Merchant, Delegate-at-Large to the National Republican Convention.
The meeting was called to order by Mr. I. Willis Cole, chairman of the Fifth District, who briefly outlined the policy of the League, pointedly emphasized the necessity of a live organization functioning every day in the year. Prayer was offered by Rev. J. Welby Broaddus, after which Mr. Cole presented the principal speaker of the evening who spoke at length upon the happenings of the convention.
He plainly and concisely spoke of the failure of colored voters to receive adequate ecognition, gecause we as a people are not organized. He elaborated upon the fact that although the South played no prominent part in the general election, being unable to vote, they were politically in advance of colored voters of Kentucky, because they are organized. He state that three days prior to the convening of the convention, colored delegates of the South SStates were there and in meeting. He said that States like Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois should play a greater part in the affairs of National politics than they do, that Kentucky Negroes should be honored with places on the National Colored Campaign Committee and given a position after the victory.
"Kentucky with 125,000 regular colored Republican voters, has been as a catspaw in the past, to secure the chestnuts for a select few, and that this thing must be stopped. We as citizens, men and women, do not need charity nor even sympathy, what we need is inspiration, the kind of inspiration that will inspire us to unity, an organization that will speak as a people, for the people, and not the person said he.
Dr. Marchant was folowed by the State President of the League, Rev.
